"A great deal OF grumbling. but the law was

EDITORS DREAM.

In quest of the witty and wise and strange, He searches them over one by one, Till out of the folds of the last exchange The cockroach darts, and the work is done. Then off to his midnight couch he goes, Where under the covers he willingly creeps, And losses and tumbles in half repOse Till the final roll-over-and then he sleeps. He sleeps and dreams-and of what and of
 who?
 Of birds and of blossoms and love and light ? Of wave. kissed isles where the skies are blue, And of music and beauty: Well, no; not
 quite. That pile of exchanges upon his desk Refuses to vanish and let him rest; And the catching big headlines, very gro-
 tesque,
 He is reading and seeking what they sug-
 gest. The wild. wooliy man that is caught each Through all the full strength of s dozen
 men, Comes at him like mad, and he shudders with
 fear
 And hopes he may never behold him again. "A Frightful Explosion-Four Men Blown

lid Bits.

He was one of the very trimmest and daintiest young men imaginable, and he was in his element as escort to six ultra fashionable young ladies on a little picnic excursion. There was an antiquated but keen-eyed woman from the rural districts also on board the train.
 "I say, girls" said the brilliant young man, "see me make a mash of the old lady in the 'sun- bonnit,' and he skipped across the aisle, tipped his hat and said, blandly, while all the girls giggled:
 "Ah, good day, madam beg par don, but haven't seen you beiores"
 She gave him one look, and grabbed both his soft little hands in her own brown toil- worn hands.
 "Of course you have," she said, gIee- fully, pulling him into the seat beside her. "You're Mir. Hildybrand Day Golyer, hey?"
 Alas! he was MT. Hiidebrand de Golyer.
 Il knowed you the mint I set eyes on you. You're the very young man that boarded with me a month in the country last summer a year ago, and you went of and forgot to pay your board, didn't you? Pve been looking for you ever sence, and Pm mighty glad to see you. The bill is just thirty -six dollars and ninety five cents, countin' in your washin and mendiR that I done myself; and I want you to hand 1t right over fore you git of'n this seat. Wen call it thirty six even for cash"
 And he hadn't but seven dollars and forty y-one cents to his name.

He was wasted to skin and bones and his cough sound cd like a death -knell through our house. tried all the best physicians I could hear of, but he grew worse all the time, and it was with sd hearts we gave him up for lost. One of my neighbors told me of some cures of such disease by inhaliDg medicines into the lungs in vapor, and I went to Dr. Hunter without any belief that my sons life could be saved. Idon't know the secret of Dr. Hunters treat mcnt, but I do know that it restored my boy to mo at the end of three months, sound and well.

minute, and 1t is powerless. Then is the time to cut its head off. l would rather meet a rattlesnake with a switch and penknife than club. Yes, course it is kinder dang'rous for them who don't know how. And then, if the rattler gifts kinder mad, you must kill it in a hurry to keep it from bit- in itself. After the head is off and the snake kinder quiets down little cut the skin in two places, 30 yer can git grip with both of yer hands, and then pull away. The skin peels back just as nice as yer please, and then 1t is very easy matter to clean out the inside. Wash it, salt it, and then cut it up inter pieces, just as yer do sas- sage. That done, brile it, and it's mighty good eatin'.
 But talkin' bout rattlers reminds me-" continued Bill, "did you ever go rattlesnakin'?"
 "What?"
 "Did yer ever go out ter a rattle snake party? City folks, with all thar fine airs and 'ristocratic notions, swaller tail coats and sich like, miss a heap of fun in this hear world. Wal, the boys don't send the gals any notes, with nice soap perfumes on lem, but just go and ask her hisself. Thar hain't been very many yit. Pse got 'em all up. A dozen couples is plenty for rattlesnake party.
 "Why, course; it wouldn't be no fun to go rattlesnakin' unless you had some gals along. Course, as Pse get tin kinder old, goes without one. l goes along as kind of shampoo fer the party. Yer see, the gals nowadays is mighty fond of wearim girdles, but I can't see much use in it, as they war lem SO loose. Now, yer know that the gals nearly always pull up things tight round the waist, but girdles they don't. Funny, isn't it, fur should kinder think they wouldn't war them ar 'ristocratic sirsingles in that ar way. have seed good many here in Denver wearing silver ones, with great big silver dollars for or naments, and they does look pretty nice. Wal, onst when l wer down in New Mexico, far away from any of yer millinary stores, some of the pretty gals wanted girdles. Thar wer only one store nigh by, and thar wer no girdles thar, of course. So took out lot of the young folks and some of the cowboys on a rattlesnake party. Course the gals were little skittish, but they all knowed how ter ride bronchos, and what a time we had ridin' over the prairies huntin' rat tlesnakes. Pardon me, sir, hut you should have seen them ar fair gals a ridin'. None of your puny, sickly so- ciety women. Color in their cheeks and they knowed how to ride bron- chos, too. Wall, every feller killed a rattlesnake and skinned it. The hides were dressed and polished and the in side of lem lined with silk, satin and velvet, just as the boys took a notion What did the boys do with lem! Why, give lem ter the gals for girdles and mighty putty they were, too Talk 'bout yer silver girdles with sil. yer dollars for orn'ments. Pll tell yel them ar 'ristocratic things is not tel be compared with them rattlesnakt girdles with rattles fer orn'ments."
